Lack of good storyline.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This Is Awful, The Lowest Form Of Entertainment! I Don't Know How There May Be People Who Would Enjoy This Stupid Movie! Plot: There's Not Even A Plot, It's Just 2 Stupid Cops Protecting Something About The Mafia, That Won't Even Pass For A Student Film Project! Execution: Don't Get Me Started, It's WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLDIIIISSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH Especially For A PG-13 Film! Overall: Thank God This Bombed At The Box Office And It's At The Bottom 100 Or Else I Would've Gone Mad! If You Ever Come Across This Movie At a Thrift Store, Netflix, Etc, I Encourage You To Not Watch It, I Want To Save You 2 Hours Of Your Life By Not Watching This Slap In The Face!

I saw this movie on television years ago and the movie was so bad, I didn't even finish the movie. I couldn't tell you what the entire movie was about. The entire plot was just a sloppy mess and you can't even follow where it was going. For a comedy it was very unfunny. I know it was based on an old TV show which was way before my time but surely it was funny back then?! The cast which includes John C. McGinley (Platoon, The Rock, Scrubs), Fran Drescher (The Nanny), Jeremy Piven (Entourage, Black Hawk Down), and Daniel Baldwin (Vampires) must have been VERY desperate for work to appear in this really bad movie. The lead actor David Johansen seems to have disappeared off the radar altogether. Perhaps this is movie that all the cast members involved would rather forget.It's no surprise that this stinker of a movie is still on the IMDb's Bottom 100. Do yourself a favour and avoid this movie at all costs.1/10.

The only reason I watched "Car 54, Where Are You?" is because it had Jeremy Piven in it and I'm a huge fan of his. I had heard it was bad and I knew it was on the bottom 100 list. But I never follow those guidelines anyway. I'll see a movie even if I had heard that it was bad. This film came on at 6:30 in the morning and I had just gotten back to the house after taking my cousins to the bus stop. I couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to watch this film. My expectations were low because of all the bad reviews I had read. I didn't think it was THAT bad, but it wasn't very good. It has its faults. 1.) Why was David Johannsen cast for this film? Didn't his voice get on even the director's nerves? And didn't the director realize what a BAD ACTOR David Johannsen is? He was so annoying and unfunny. I can't believe he was able to get work. 2.) Rosie O'Donnell's acting. I like her, I really do. I think she's sweet and normally funny. But she was just annoying in this film. And her accent got old after a while. But I guess I can cut her some slack because this was her film debut. 3.) Too many characters. I couldn't keep up with all the characters in this film and it was too stressful on my eyes and my brain to keep up with what was going on. They should've narrowed the character limit down a bit. Too mind boggling. .But for some odd reason, I kind of enjoyed this film and it made me laugh in some parts. I thought it was funny. And I loved Jeremy Piven. And I'm not just saying that because I love him. I think he was one of the only lovable characters in this film. I thought his rapping with the black men in the jail cell was hilarious. I think he should've been chosen for the lead instead of freakin' David Johannsen! I am still appalled at why he was cast in this film. I think "Car 54, Where Are You?" would've been a much better film if he hadn't been in it. I'm serious. Now I see why David Johannsen hasn't been in more films.Anyway this film isn't Oscar material and it's not particularly GOOD, but it certainly isn't bad enough to be on the bottom 100 list. I'm not sorry I watched it. Thank you for reading my review.~LaTissa~

As the movie opens, Officer Toody is part of a silly musical number. It turns out he is dreaming while he sleeps in Car 54 in the middle of a riot. He and his partner (Al Lewis) return to the 53rd precinct after the familiar call. It is a wild ride full of physical comedy. Unfortunately, Lewis' character is retiring, which is a shame because he is one of the few actors giving a performance worth seeing. Muldoon, his by-the-book replacement, has been trained in new law enforcement techniques referred to as MADCOPP, which he tries to teach the other officers. Muldoon shoots at a man who stole a sandwich and tickets a blind man with a dog for jaywalking.The 53rd is assigned to protect Herbert Hortz, a witness who is testifying against claustrophobic mobster Don Motti. Motti hires hit men who, fortunately, turn out to be incompetent (otherwise, this movie would be over quickly).If any performances in this movie can be described as worthwhile, they would be Fran Drescher as a girl Toody introduces Muldoon to, and Nipsey Russell as the captain. And maybe Daniel Baldwin as Motti. As for David Johansen (Toody), I found him very annoying, mainly because his tough-sounding voice didn't work. Later in the movie, though, his performance improved. John McGinley (Muldoon) wasn't particularly likeable.Some highlights for me that are not spoilers: Hortz performs with a pair of rappers, an all-too-short jazz performance at the Blue Note, Tone Loc's brief appearance as a carriage driver, Toody getting snagged on a hospital patient's catheter, Lewis watching himself on 'The Munsters'.Once I got used to it, I actually found myself enjoying the movie. The second half actually seemed pretty good.Some highlights for me that would likely be called SPOILERS:Lewis falls down stairs at his retirement party; Muldoon's own musical number (he was pretty talented) which also ends up being a dream; Toody's 1961 Plymouth getting stolen after Toody forgot Hortz was in the trunk, and especially Toody's attempt to go undercover as a hit man in a purple suit.
